Airplanes!

On the theme of planes, trains and automobiles (from my last post) I found this beautiful airplane rocker, a little young for John but perfect for baby or toddler's room. Of course I say too young for John but something tells me he'd still love it!

They also have a gorgeous train, car, fire engine, carousel horse and so many more. Check out http://www.kidsdecorgalore.com/, it's a wonderful store with lots of kids' room ideas.

CARES // Kids Fly Safe

Wow, what a great idea! We flew to Disney the past two years and both times I had to drag on our car seat for Anna to sit in. There is no way in this world that she wouldn't wiggle out of the airplane seat and take off down the aisle so I had no choice (if we wanted to be allowed to remain on the plane!) Having a special needs child, you sometimes have to make special arrangements.

But now, with Kids fly safe (http://www.kidsflysafe.com/) we won't have to take the car seat any more. And not just for Anna, wanting all kids to be safe onboard is a good thing! This amazing product straps in your child safely in the seat! Here is their take:

Forget about hauling a heavy, bulky car seat through crowded airports and narrow airplaine aisles. There's a better way to keep your young children safe while flying. CARES (Child Aviation Restraint System) is designed specially for airplanes and is FAA certified as having an equivalent level of safety to a car seat for all phases of flight. CARES is manufactured by AmSafe, the foremost manufacturer of airplane seatbelts and other safety restraints. Best of all, CARES weighs only 1 lb, fits in a 6" carrying case, fits all airplane seats and takes a mere 1 minute to install.

So, if you're planning airplane travel in the coming months, and your child is 44 lbs or less, make the smart (and easy!) choice by using cares!
